Introduction

Oncology fascinates me primarily due to its rapid development — modern treatment methods can cure many patients, extend life, and improve quality of life. I welcome adult patients diagnosed with oncological diseases, including urological, mammological, and gastrointestinal tumors, as well as those who wish to consult on morbidity risks or modern treatment options. I also see patients who, for some reason, cannot turn to their treating physician. I gladly cooperate with urologists and general surgeons.
